Fatherhood

For those unfamiliar with Michigan tradition, Frankenmuth is a town north of Flint which thrives entirely on the tourism industry.  It’s home to Bronner’s (the world’s biggest Christmas store, which is frickin’ huge and open 362 days a year), The Bavarian Inn (who serves THE best fried chicken ANYWHERE), and a host of other specialty shops.  While they do have some special things that they do for Halloween, having Frankenstein isn’t one I’ve heard of them doing.  Maybe they should reconsider that.

I’m wearing my James Bond parody shirt which laments “this is stirred” and also cries because you can’t see him behind Kia.  Stacy’s sporting a nice blue blouse because ONE of us needs to look respectable now and then, while the girls are wearing Elsa shirts; Kia’s has a fabric dress on it which matches the skirt she’s wearing (also unseen, and also unstirred), and Arwyn’s got the headshot and snowflakes around the collar.  It also says “unleash your power,” which I’m sure is meant as an empowering type of thing, but with Arwyn, it comes off more like something that a Sith lord would say to his student.
